LC/MS Analysis of Essential Amino Acids (NH2P-40 2D)

A polymer-based amino HILIC column, Asahipak NH2P-40 2D, was used to analyze 20 amino acids that consists proteins. This method does not require the use of delivertization or ion-pair reagents. The analysis takes less than 35 min. The result show that acidic amino acids tend to be retained longer by the amino function group modified on NH2P-40 2D column packed gel.
*Sales of Asahipak NH2P-40 2D used in this application is discontinued. Please consider trying Asahipak NH2P-50 2D.
